Re: Better coach
First of all, it's not like Gibbs went and convinced Portis to come play for us. We said here's a pro bowl cornerback and a 2nd round pick -- gimmie.
Also -- While Gibbs' offense looks great and completely revamped this year, I still think he has a little ways to go till he's an offensive genius. We're moving the ball just great, but as a genius he needs to find a way to put up points. We're just not coming away with quite enough, in my opinion. Greg Williams is an amazing defensive mind, he mixes and matches and coaches his defense like I coach my madden team. Cornerbacks playing defensive end (my Madden team, not Williams!) and he really fires me up watching him on TV without a doubt. If Gibbs didn't have the history he has, I'd agree completely that GW was the better coach. However, thanks to his history Gibbs demands respect from the players, fans, and media. That respect has translated into a revitalized orginization. The real question is how long will Gibbs stay here. He made no bones about the fact that the only reason he came back was for Coy, his son, to learn how to coach. Coy wanted to coach, he told him how awful it is and how much work and stress it puts on you, yet that's what Coy wanted to do. If Coy decides he doesn't want to be a coach and decides to leave, what happens to Joe? If Coy takes over a more important position than "quality control" and fails miserably -- what happens? I think as Coy goes as does Gibbs. Now, don't get me wrong. I think he loves coaching and he loves the Washington Redskins, but I also think he's getting older and older and coaching is a lot of work and stress, especially if you aren't winning (which looks to be changing!). So Gibbs leaving early wouldn't suprise me at all. Both coaches are great but in different ways. Leave it at that.
